HTTP Error 403.4 - Forbidden

Question

When I access my localhost of my machine I get the following screen

enter image description here

whereas when I try the same in my server, I getting the following error

HTTP Error 403.4 - Forbidden The page you are trying to access is secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

I tried replacing http to https, but I am seeing the directory browsing. How to configure the localhost in server to change the screen.

My machine:
OS: Windows 8 IIS version: 8

My server machine:
OS: Windows 2012 server IIS version: 8

Please share your suggestions

You have 2 options:

Option 1. Remove "require SSL" from the site using the following instructions:

Option 2. Associate a certificate to your site:

It should be the same for localhost. You can use a self signed cert for local host. Have a look at this blog post [link](http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/04/06/tip-trick-enabling-ssl-on-iis7-using-self-signed-certificates.aspx) – TheDaveJay Oct 11 '13 at 09:04

It seems you have selected "Require SSL" settings in the IIS. You need to remove it.

Please use the following steps to fix this error.

Open IIS.

Select your website which has the issue.

Click on the SSL Settings.

Untick the "Require SSL" option.
